The Visual Studio TypeScript compiler can optionally compile TypeScript files (.d.ts, .js.map, .js) to a directory other than the originating typescript file. When the user sets that up, this build task should look for the files there.

For first pass, assume that TypeScriptOutDir is the same for all configurations. Adding configuration detection/support is likely to prove difficult.

Make sure this works with .ts files that are in a folder rather than in the root of the project.

Are all of the generated files truly necessary? Is it acceptable to continue the build even if say the .js.map file is missing? It seems like for some files there is no reason to break the build on them being missing.

If I use DefinitelyTyped librairies that only bring *.d.ts files in my project, the task fails since it looks for *.d.d.ts files.

*.d.ts files should be skipped by the task.

As an exemple, add the Nuget package jquery.TypeScript.DefinitelyTyped to a project and try referencing this project from an other and use the Zolto.BuildTools.TypeScript.FromReferences package on this project. It fails saying that the jquery.d.d.ts file is not found.

Currently, the build task will always copy to $(ProjectDir)libraries. This may not match the users desired build structure.

The task should provide an easy way for users to customize the target directory of the copied files.

When using MSBuilds to deploy projects the build fails because it cannot find the required typings file.

packages\Zoltu.BuildTools.TypeScript.FromReferencesTask.2.0.5.0\build\Zoltu.BuildTools.TypeScript.FromReferencesTask.targets (9, 3)
Could not find file 'D:\VNextAgent\_work\4\s\Logistics Portal\Common Projects\Jdn.LogisticsPortal.Utilities\Scripts\utils.d.ts'.
Process 'msbuild.exe' exited with code '1'.

This is because the file is not added to source control (TFS in this case). However when adding the file to source control, visual studio fails to compile because there are duplicate declarations (once in your .ts and once in your .d.ts files).

I setup the project and was succesfully able to generate .ts.source and update the .map respectively.

The problem is that import tsmodels = require("models/commonModels"); doesnt work. It doesnt recognize models/commonModels.ts.source. When i create a models/CommonModels.ts manually, it compiles.

Note that I am using TypeScript 1.4

When the project is cleaned, the copied libraries should be removed.
